Meshtastic
Meshtastic refers to an open-source communication protocol and project designed for creating a decentralized peer-to-peer mesh network using low-power, long-range radio devices, such as LoRa (Long Range) modules. This technology enables users to send text messages and share location data without relying on conventional cellular or internet infrastructure, making it particularly useful in remote areas or during emergencies when typical communication systems are unavailable. Meshtastic focuses on facilitating communication among users in a mesh network format, allowing devices to relay messages to one another, thereby extending the communication range beyond the limits of a single device. The project supports various programmable features and is designed to be community-driven, promoting collaboration and innovation among users and developers.
